FC6 Missing icons after update and terminal not starting

[Antonio M]

After concluding the full update of my server I re-send a message of a
few days ago, where I didn't get any answer:

I updated a server to FC6 (that started from RH8 through all steps of
Fedora). and I made a full update by yum.

I lost many icons in main menus(also the main icons for Applications /
Resources)
and I lost icons (not all) also in the menus (for example
Graphics...Internet and so on..)
I can't see icons for different type of files in nautilus

Another clue: when I start a session I get a warning stating:

An error occurred during start-up of settings daemon of Gnome
Some aspects as themes, sound or desktop settings could not work properly
Settings daemon has been started too many times.
Last error message has been:

Impossible to activate 'OAFID:GNOME_SettingsDaemon'
Gnome will try to restart settings daemon at next login

and another warning: Icon gnome-fs-home not found

I can't also start the Terminal window

I made a short research googling and in bugzilla but no clue: any idea
where to start to solve the problem.The server is working fine apart
from these problems, the most annoying is Terminal not starting!!!

You might try yum groupinstall <groupname> in order to assure that all 
the elements for the group are installed. You can get a list of groups 
by running 'yum grouplist' to see different groups available. Replace 
the <groupname> with the desired group. For groups that are multiple 
words, enclosing the group with the " at both ends should pull in the 
group. (EXAMPLE: "yum groupinstall "This group for Rent" should pull in 
the group listed as This group for rent.)
This should also get you additional packages that an upgrade might miss. 
It is sort of a poor man's install "Whats New Group".

tnx for help.

Not easy to follow your advice as Terminal is not operating (dying immediately)

Maybe that it is connected to some gstreamer library??? (from googling..)???

Is this the terminal launched from the GUI?

Anyway, since you came from RHL8, quite a lot of programs were added and 
  removed. You might have to drop to runlevel 3 or ctl-alt-Fn to a 
virtual terminal and log in as root to do this. If you cannot even get a 
basic terminal, I really have no idea as to a direction to take.

Basically, run yum grouplist to get the groups and run yum groupinstall 
for the groups which you want to make sure are at least to the default 
group level.

I'm sure that there are a lot of added libraries effecting stability of 
the GUI since RHL8. Running in a shell should get you a more complete 
system. The group installs pull in all sorts of programs which were not 
previously released in earlier versions.

You got the system this far, it should be operational enough to pull in 
some of the additional groups.

At this point, development releases seem easier to maintain than way 
back starts to the newest release version.

Good Luck,
Jim

Tnx Jim

I have tried to run a yum groupinstall but I have a stupid problem:
when I run a yum grouplist I get the list for example

Gnome Desktop Environment

But if I issue yum groupinstall Gnome Desktop Environment
I get the error that Gnome and Desktop and Environment ar enot exixting.
What is the exact grammar??

Tnx for help

You would want to run the below:
yum groupinstall "Gnome Desktop Environment"

The " character enclosing makes sure that yum does not try to expand 
this to group "gnome" and group "desktop" and "environment"

There are other schemes with escape characters but they just look 
horrible to use in my opinion.

I copied the command after running groupinstall, GNOME is capitalized.

Run:
yum groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment"

instead.

Tnx Jim

I have made some updates/erase/installation of different packages
connected to Gnome and now all icon re-appeared.
Now I must solve other problems:

error at start-up of Gnome (a bug has already been filed)
I have lost my CD in Computer resources (only after update)
I can't see other computer on my network  (and it had been working for years)
Terminal is not working

I guess that they are connected...but I will prepare new posts.

Tnx for help

I'm glad that it worked for you somewhat. At least you have the icons back.

Good luck resolving the other problems.
